While Olivia Newton-John implored us
all to get physical (leotard optional)
in 1981, Bulla Dairy Foods also
embraced the idea of a healthy
lifestyle. In the 1980s, the company
launched Australia’s first range of
low-fat products including yoghurt,
sour cream, cottage cheese and later,
frozen yoghurt. To this day, Bulla
continues the same commitment to
the nation’s health and wellbeing.
